It’s our favorite time of the year again! No, I’m not referring to tax season, the Super Bowl or those ever-delicious Girl Scout Cookies. It is time for Clever Communities in Action’s(CCIA) 4th annual Black History Month Youth Book Drive!! Yes, it’s a very long title but it happens to have a very long reaching mission. To date CCIA has raised over $5,000 and put over 500 brand new books written for African-American youth into six Title I elementary schools thanks to the help of some most generous donors from across the country. Our goal is to promote literacy, positive self-esteem and cultural awareness.
We accept donations Feb 1st -March 1st. Book delivery occurs in mid-March and footage will be available by the end of March. We want you to see where your donations went and we want you to be able to share that warm and fuzzy feeling we get when we see the babies get so exited about these literary gems. Payments can be made via the “Donate: button on cleverspeaks.com or the Clever Communities in Action Facebook page. Payments are processed securely through paypal. If you are interested in making off-line donations please email us at donations@clevercommunities.org or call 757.918.7879. We are working hard to reach our $2,000 goal this year so please consider making a donation and liking, sharing, forwarding and tweeting this info with your friends and social media network.
A tremendous THANK YOU to ALL who help make this a successful endeavor!!
